Description
We have extended our evolutionary synthesis models for star forming
regions to the γ-ray domain. We obtain the light-curves of
γ-ray line emission due to radioactive decay of stellar
nucleosynthesis products, such as 26 Al, 60 Fe, or the e- e+
annihilation line as well as the evolution of the kinetic energy from
massive stars. We present the correlation of these lines with the
ionizing flux produced by massive stars and some preliminary predictions
about the Cosmic Ray production in star forming regions. We show that
the predicted γ-ray line observations combined with others
multi-wavelength measurements can efficiently constrain the age of a
stellar population, and help to identify the primary nucleosynthesis
sources of the radio-isotopes.
